A new video has surfaced online which shows Quavo being engaged in a heated argument with a group of people just seconds before his nephew Takeoff was fatally shot.
Here is everything you need to know.
Quavo had been arguing moments before Takeoff was shot dead
TMZ obtained a new video where Quavo and Takeoff are seen having a dispute with a bunch of men in the few seconds leading up to the shooting.
Furthermore, in the 2:30 am footage, Quavo seemingly calls somebody with several expletives including ‘disrespectful.’
He says, ‘Now listen, man – ain’t got to be disrespectful like that.’
In addition, the rapper is heard using the word, ‘basketball’ at least twice during their argument. However, few reports suggest that the altercation was over a dice game.
Quavo supposedly states,’ Y’all seen me play basketball. Don’t play like that.’
Meanwhile, someone in the crowd insists, ‘Let it go, bro.’
Besides that, a person, possibly Takeoff mentions, ‘I don’t get down like that!’ moments before gunshots rang out.
A mere shot caused panic among the group as they sprinted in different directions inside the bowling alley. Moreover, according to reports, at least ten more shots were fired in quick succession potentially from two guns.
Takeoff shot dead at 28
On 1st November, Takeoff’s management company Quality Control Music released a statement to confirm the death of the rapper.
They wrote, ‘It is with broken hearts and deep sadness that we confirm the loss of our beloved brother Kirsnick Khari Ball, known to the world as Takeoff.
Additionally, it said, ‘Senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we are devastated.’
In the meantime, Houston police chief, Troy Finner, has revealed in a press conference that the assailant is still on the run. He went on to ask the public for help.

Finner mentioned, ‘There were at least 40 people in that private party. Someone knows who the actual shooter or shooters are.’
He further said, ‘Anyone with that information should provide that information to us. Let us solve this situation, and bring justice to this family.’
Subsequently, he continued, ‘It doesn’t matter how famous you are. Anybody who loses his or her life is a life lost.’
Finner added, ‘People need to stop just pulling the damn trigger, think and calm down a little bit, the bottom line is, and mark my words, we will find who is responsible.’
